“Babylon” star had new business partners.“That was by design: Jolie collaborated in secret with Shefler and his associates to pursue and then consummate the purported sale, ensuring that Pitt would be kept in the dark,” reads the amended complaint filed Thursday in Los Angeles court by Pitt’s attorneys.Shefler’s Stoli company and Jolie “knowingly violated Pitt’s and [his company] Mondo Bongo’s contractual rights and forced a stranger into Pitt’s family home,” continues the paperwork obtained by The Post.The former couple had an equal stake in the $160 million Chateau Miraval — they purchased a controlling interest in 2008 and used the 1,200-acre estate as their wedding venue in 2014.The pair, who split in 2016, had a “mutual and binding commitment… that, if the time ever came, neither could or would dispose of his or her interest separately without the other’s consent,” according to the newly filed court document.The Post has contacted reps for Pitt, 59, and Jolie, 47, for comment.Jolie’s attorneys have called Pitt’s claims “frivolous, malicious and part of a problematic pattern.”Pitt initially sued Jolie over the vineyard in February 2022, with Jolie’s company, Nouvel, filing a $250 million cross-complaint in the fall.This new paperwork claims the winery business was Pitt’s “passion,” leading him to team up with esteemed winemaker Marc Perrin in 2013.“Together they would create one of the first high-end rosé wines, branded as a family-owned, family-run French wine business.
